Therapists in Nevada City, CA

I would be honored to help you in self-discovery and change. It takes a lot of courage to travel down that path. I often can intuit the key issues underlying a person’s suffering, which are often relational-both within ourselves and with others. To be kind and yet direct, and to really see you-both as you are now and how you want to become more whole. Finding clarity, compassion, and new ways to effectively deal with problems are essential in therapy. I will help you find where you are stuck and ways to get unstuck, by changing how you process both your thoughts and feelings. I work with both adults and couples.

Hi there, I'm Blake, a licensed clinical social worker. I've helped people with many issues like anxiety, depression, personality disorders, grief, divorce, severe mental diagnoses, and many more. I am trained in many different therapies and tailor a plan to each patient, rather than tailoring a patient to a plan. In my view, people used to mostly lived in close-knit communities, which has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost the social support our forebearers had. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role and are an excellent resource to improve your well-being.

Negative habits can hinder personal progress and stand in the way of your aspirations. I possess extensive experience assisting men navigating challenges related to addictions, including but not limited to, addressing unwanted sexual behaviors, alcohol consumption, illicit substance use, fixation on performance, workaholism, co-dependency dynamics, struggles with assertiveness, as well as issues surrounding identity and self-worth. Additionally, I am deeply committed to offering couples a supportive environment where they can mend and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

I am a psychotherapist geographically located in Sacramento, California. Currently, I am only conducting HIPAA-compliant telehealth; if you live outside California, please contact me to discuss options. I have been an independent Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 21 years, and more generally been a social worker for over 29 years, conducting education, research, supervision, and clinical work. I work with people living with chronic health and mental health conditions, with those struggling with their identity and making meaning in life, and with adults having un/expected challenges in relationships, work, and beyond.

Life has many challenges, but they give us the opportunity to grow in new ways and discover our inner strengths. I use a variety of approaches to help clients work on these challenges, develop new insights and make difficult decisions. I am a focused listener and strive to create a safe and healing environment, but I am also an interactive participant who provides direct feedback. I have a quiet and calming office where clients can relax and connect to their inner world of thoughts and feelings. I provide individual, group, family and couples counseling to adolescents and adults of all backgrounds.

I have been a psychologist for over 50 years. I earned a B.A. in psychology from Northwestern University in 1967 and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Colorado in 1972. I taught, conducted research and treated patients at Vanderbilt University, where I collaborated with Dr. Hans Strupp, a pioneer in the study of the effectiveness of psychotherapy. I published over 100 scientific articles on the process and outcome of therapy and the influence of sex and race biases in diagnosis and treatment.

Some of our deepest emotional wounds come from difficult or dysfunctional relationships in early life. But just as relationships can hurt, so can they heal. Therapy is a place to heal these early wounds and develop the skills to form more satisfying relationships. As a therapist, I am active, engaged, accepting, and compassionate. I recognize that every person is unique--what helps one person does not necessarily work for others. I seek to help people clarify their feelings, values, and goals in order to make life decisions with open eyes and a clear mind.

I believe in the transformative power of therapy, and my approach is rooted in collaboration and empowerment. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Additionally, my expertise in Dialectical Behavior Therapy enriches my practice by incorporating skills for emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness.

Hello, I am Craig Gibbs a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

My approach to working with you is relational in nature while providing a strengths-based person-centered approach to mental wellness.

I may be a psychotherapist, but I’m also a person in the world and not that different from you. I have a family and have been a lifelong learner. I grew up in a large, extended family who were working class. My family is diverse - different ethnicities, religious backgrounds, class levels, disabilities, educational levels, gender/sexualities, ages, geographical origin. As a person, I have had a few struggles and a few triumphs. I try to learn from life, my mistakes, other people, and my professional/academic experiences. I like to think that all these experiences have made me a better person and a better psychotherapist.

We want to offer the best possible solution to your individual issues. We strive to reduce trauma, create options, and teach individuals to function without emotional pain.

I find it difficult to put into words what therapy is and what it is capable of providing. When you find a therapist that you connect with and you experience being heard, understood, accepted, and valued; words seem incapable of truly capturing what transpires. I see therapy as sacred, not in a religious sense, but in a treasured sense. It's sacred because it's where our story, and the pain that lies within, is courageously explored and honored. Therapy is often presented as a place to come and get fixed, but in Soul Care, therapy is about experiencing being found, healed and known at the core of our being.

The therapeutic relationship, ie…how you connect with your therapist, is the most essential element to the success of the therapy you are seeking. I strive to ensure that the relationship between myself and my clients consists of respect for where you are at when you begin your therapy as well a guarantee that the focus will always be on you and whatever needs you have at the moment.

I commend you for searching for help! My empathetic, caring, and encouraging approach along with my education, specialized training, and life experiences continues to be of help to most people, while having a niche with tween/teen boys, men, veterans, couples, and parents. My life experience with adoption, military life, leading non-profits, marital challenges, men's issues, raising teens, overcoming addictions, and struggles with faith may also help you. Training to help with trauma, addictions, depression, and anxiety with Brainspotting and EMDR can provide the healing you and your loved one's have been seeking for some time.

Welcome! Beginning therapy can be a scary step towards making changes in your life.

I want you to feel seen and heard. You are the expert of your life and through a therapeutic bond we work together on your healing journey.
